That is only one possible translation.Without form means that the earth was in chaos and God created order.
But I didn't mean to debate, only to state the simple truth regarding what was not and then was (created).

Of course GraceThis is what I said in post no. 9:
God IS certain things. He passed them on to us. In Genesis where it states that God created man in His image...it does NOT mean that He made little Gods...or that we look like Him. It means that He gave to us certain qualities that He has.
I said it does NOT mean He made little gods.
So we agree.
what are talking about and what did I claim...get your head together mate...byeWe can read post #9. He did not say what you claim. He did not say as you claim there that God created little gods.

In post 9 GG never stated God made little gods. Just the opposite in fact.
Good. You won't be getting one.Ok fella...right between your eyes..
My post to GG....
HOW ARE WE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE?
Genesis 1:27 27God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; (Please comment or add to this thread; but this will not be a debate about God's attributes. Thanks.) If we understand God's character, we can better understand His desire for us. I'd like to state that...www.christianityboard.com
Her GG's post back to me...and where she herself created this idea of little gods not I..

Get your act together and no, I do not need an apology....
Yikes a mental patient is loose...Good. You won't be getting one.
I'll keep it short because post proofs don't get through to your inability to admit error.
GG NEVER said god created little gods. You accused GG of saying God created little gods.
Never happened. Gg even stated she didn't say that.
That's it. The posts are there. You were wrong.
Now you're goading me with rips like,right between your eyes fella?
Wow!
This is silly. Goad someone else.
OKThat is only one possible translation.

@pepperYikes a mental patient is loose...
Who wrote this post Pepper, me or GG...now read carefully
--------------------she wrote GG------and APAK is me....
Hi Apak...I'm having a difficult time understanding what you mean.
God IS certain things. He passed them on to us. In Genesis where it states that God created man in His image...it does NOT mean that He made little Gods...or that we look like Him. It means that He gave to us certain qualities that He has.
There will be more on the way....
I'm not turning this into a debate about the Trinity...but if you understood it, then you'd know that Father, Son and Holy Spirit create a family - although not the type WE understand - much in the same way as we experience a family...We share love and we share responsibilities.
Also, I had stated HOW God created a family in His creation of humanity.
-----------------------------------------
See the large letters Pepper. they are GGs....some people she came up with this for whatever reason.
and what is your main mal-function anyway?
Now enough of this nonsense...
Malachi 3:6@pepper
Surely a thread about God's attributes should be impossible to turn into an argument.
Please post an attribute of God's that you find helpful or interesting or even just apparent as belonging to both God and man.
Thanks to both of you.
That just cracked me up! Theres arguing going on in how man is made in God's image and that verse was like the LORD stepping in and saying, "You are so lucky I am good, because you'd all be consumed by now)Malachi 3:6
"For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed."
And I thought it was subtle.That just cracked me up! Theres arguing going on in how man is made in God's image and that verse was like the LORD stepping in and saying, "You are so lucky I am good, because you'd all be consumed by now)![]()
Everything is good Pepper.And I thought it was subtle.
I was just trying to to defend GG's prior post that was being slandered with a lie as to GG's actual statements by an argumentative accuser.
Then GG takes offense.
Lord.
Everything we are is directly related to the attributes of God.Everything is good Pepper.
Could you post an attribute of God that He passed on to mankind?
I have a couple more but then I'll be pretty much done because there are really a lot and this takes time...
Thanks!
It WAS subtle, thats what made it funny, if I was drinking my coffee as I was reading it I would have shot it through my nose. But what is even better than that was that it was the LORD's own words (nothing else) I can appreciate that, and the timing on it was perfect.And I thought it was subtle.

Pepper....But the above is not what I'm looking for!!Everything we are is directly related to the attributes of God.

The Attributes of God - Study Resources
The Attributes of God include eternality, goodness, grace, holiness, immanence, immutability, justice, love, mercy, omnipotence, omnipresence, omniscience...www.blueletterbible.org
When we speak of God's attributes, we are talking about those characteristics that helps us to understand who He truly is. That which follows is a thorough, yet incomplete list and summary of His attributes.
Thanks.Pepper....But the above is not what I'm looking for!!
The above are God's attributes....right....no doubt.
But did He pass them on to mankind?
Not all of them...
Let me say this though: From your list:
We are eternal souls just like God is eternal.
There is some good in us....God IS all good and IS love.
Grace: Do we have grace? HOW do we have grace?
Holiness....OK....holy just means to be set apart for service to God.
Immanence....we're part of nature on a regular basis, so Yes.
Immutability...No, this was not passed on to mankind.
Justice...I'd say that our thirst for justice IS passed on from God.
Love....this was on my OP. Certainly God gifted us with love.
Mercy...yes, we can show mercy to others.
Omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience are qualities that belong only to God.
Righteousness, self-existence, sovereignty and transcendence belong only to God.
Do you agree with the above?
